"Shoulda voted for the WASP"?
In his arrogant mind,unless he really is a muslim,he thinks he can bring peace because he is so loved by the world.
It is embarrassing for me(american) to admit this, but israel might actually be better off with russia as their main ally rather than america. Russia doesn’t pussey-foot around with PC bullshit.

WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- The continuing tensions over Russia's refusal to sell its state-of-the-art land warfare advanced weapons systems to China hasn't interrupted the rhythm of major joint military exercises between the two major land powers on the Eurasian landmass. The latest in the regular, biennial series of exercises between the two nations has been confirmed for this summer.
The next in the now well-established series of exercises called Peace Mission 2009 will be carried out in northeastern China, the Russian Defense Ministry announced March 18, according to a report carried by the RIA Novosti news agency.
The first bilateral Peace Mission maneuvers -- described at the time as counter-terrorism exercises -- were held in Russia and the eastern Chinese province of Shandong in August 2005. As we reported at that time, they were a lot bigger than mere counter-terrorism exercises. Warships, squadrons of combat aircraft and more than 10,000 troops were involved carrying out landings against hypothetically hostile shores. The maneuvers also involved large-scale paratroops drops. The scale and nature of those exercises suggested a trial run for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan with Russian support. ..."

Russian nuclear bombers in Cuba?
July 23, 2008
The media has been abuzz today at the prospect of Russian nuclear bombers being stationed in Cuba if the US goes ahead with plans for missile defense bases in Eastern Europe.
The story has riled the US enough that a US general has been wheeled out to tell the worlds press that any Russian attempt to build another nuclear base in Cuba would cross US red line.
The story broke earlier this week, when Russian newspaper Izvestia quoted an un-named source from within the Russian military. He told the Russian daily:
While they are deploying the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, our strategic bombers will already be landing in Cuba.
The quote hasnt been independently confirmed, but the Russian Defense Ministry added fuel to the fire when they refused to comment on the story.
The prospect of Russian nuclear forces being stationed in Cuba - which is, after all, only 90 miles from the US coast - would bring back some rather unpleasant memories for the US of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where the Soviet Union under Nikita Kruschev launched an audacious and foolhardy bid to station nuclear missiles on the Caribbean island.

Russia's Medvedev hails "comrade" Obama
Associated Foreign Press (AFP) ^ | April 2, 2009 | Anna Smolchenko
"Russia's Dmitry Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as "my new comrade" Thursday after their first face-to-face talks"

77% of American Jews (3% of the electorate) who voted supported Obama. Obama’s not about to do too much alienation of that support which was second only in strength to his black support. That’s why there was a Seder service for Passover at the White House on Thursday night.
ussia is highly unlikely to take the US’s place in supporting Israel, there is still a tremendous amount of anti-semetism in Russia and many Russian born Israelis are atheists who are Jewish in culture only, having grown up in the communist Soviet Union.
The conservative, religous parties in Israel do not trust them.
Who would do that... abandon Israel? Our Traitor-in-Chief? Surely you jest.
Israel needs to discover a huge oil strike.
That one action, alone, would bankrupt his “political capital” account.
Then the things start to move more rapidly.
I fear for our nation. I take the Bible seriously...”I will bless those who bless Israel, and I will curse those who curse Israel”. I’m afraid a dark time will befall our land, a dark time like none of us has ever seen.
Here we go again. Of course Obama will betray Israel.
Bush also betrayed Israel many times with his endless demands to shut up and take it as the Muslims kept attacking Israel.
Of course the Clintons were big time Muslim lovers with their ol bed time pal Yasser Arafat, who spent many a night in the white house as a honored guest.
They too always have been and remain Jew haters.
Russia indeed might be a better friend than America has been.
larry
New front for garbage from Debka?
Consider the source.....
Israel sells high tech weapons to Russia and China all of the time. Come to think of it, so do we. Obama will probably sell all sorts of things to them.
And the British Empire collapsed almost immediately thereafter.
Shalom.
